Justin Watson Super Bowl Stats
In this story:
Although Justin Watson is behind Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, DeAndre Hopkins, and of course Travis Kelce in the pecking order, not many people saw a donut coming from Justin Watson in Super Bowl LIX. The veteran wideout failed to catch a single pass in the biggest game of the year as the Chiefs failed to three-peat against the Philadelphia Eagles, losing 40-22.
This past season, Watson finished sixth on the club in receptions (22) and receiving yards (289) while scoring two touchdowns.
In each of his first two Super Bowl appearances, he hauled in 2+ receptions, becoming a reliable target for Patrick Mahomes on the game’s biggest stage. However, he failed to deliver this past Sunday. In three career Super Bowls, Watson has accumulated five receptions on seven targets for 73 yards.
The 6' 2", 215 lb. target has developed into a reliable red-zone threat. Most recently, the former Penn State standout made one of the biggest plays of the game, converting a two-point conversion in the AFC Championship win over the Bills.
The Chiefs extend the lead to 7 👀

“Good things happen when you are in the right place at the right time,” said Watson. “Seems like a big play finds my way in the right moment.”
A player who runs every route like “he is the only player out there” is one of the pivotal reasons why Kansas City is poised to do something no other team has ever done - win three consecutive Super Bowls.
